Global Geometry and Mathematical Physics: Lectures Given at the 2nd Session of the Centro Internazionale Matematico Estivo (C.I.M.E.) Held at Montecat

The proceedings of a summer school presented by the Centro Internazionale Matematico Estivo, which was devoted to methods of global differential geometry and algebraic geometry in field theory, with special emphasis on Riemann surfaces, the geometry of supermanifolds and structures in gauge theory.
